Lately all the days and nights seem to blend together. Make tonight special by hosting your very own soirée with your household! Here are the top 5 tips for a special evening.
- Come up with a theme
A soirée is an evening filled with smart conversations in great company. The theme could be “history heroes,” “outer space,” or “roaring 20s.” Be creative! Everyone in your household can come prepared with a mini presentation sharing fun facts related to your theme
You can take it to the next level and find décor that aligns with your theme. Think balloon garlands and flower arrangements if you want to go big! Alternatively, you can keep it simple with festive napkins. Either way, a theme sets the tone for the evening.
- Set a dress code
Once you’ve chosen your theme, set a dress code for the evening. These days, it’s tempting to stay in PJs and sweatpants all day and night. This is the perfect excuse to wear your favorite clothes collecting dust in your closet.
- Make a killer playlist
Keep the energy high throughout the evening with a fun music playlist. There are a ton of great premade playlists out there or you can build your own.
- Create a signature drink
It’s worth putting in a little extra effort and coming up with a signature drink. Make a cocktail or mocktail with your favorite flavors and line it up with your theme. If your theme is “history heroes,” go for a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Mint Julep. It’s the perfect excuse to gather bitters or bust out fresh mint, especially if you wouldn’t normally do so on a regular evening.
- Sit down for a family meal
The ultimate must for an evening soirée is a family meal. Make your meal special by ordering takeout from your favorite local restaurant.
